Day 182 Week 25

The evening out with friends was really good fun and lots of empathy as one of the girls was going through a particularly rough patch at the hands of her guy, cake and eat it seemed to be his order of the day. Never very nice to be on the receiving end of such a tactic.

Then arrived home and fell asleep on the sofa watching the TV and woke up and went upstairs to a very cold bedroom as it was freezing again last night.
Saturday has now arrived and saw on the news that German soldiers have tragically killed some members of the ANA. I'm shocked to discover that Germany has the third largest NATO contingent out there with a total of nearly five and a half thousands soldiers on the ground and it would appear the car the Afghans were traveling in failed to stop when asked and the Germans opened fire.
Met my nice new friend's son for lunch today and he's as gorgeous as he looks, and he goes to the same school that R went to and he's off to Spain for a football tournament on Monday. Then nice new friend and I went for a very gentle stroll by the river in the cold and damp, and then sat in a beautiful riverside inn and had a pint by the fire before coming home to pork and crackling with roasted sweet potatoes and salad.
Heard from H and he said don't send any more parcels out to C as they're not forwarding them to 3 Rifles as they're so close to the end of the tour. Can it really be so. R home and getting ready to go out. And still no news from C.
Fellow soldier's Mum working really hard and is very tired and hopefully our boys should return home within a couple of days of each other.
Please Lord can they continue to be kept safe.
Speak soon. A soldier's Mum x
